Set over two floors with a cellar, this four-bedroom mid-terrace offers generous room proportions and many original period details. High ceilings, bay windows and decorative mouldings create an immediate sense of character, while the long reception and kitchen/dining room suit family living and entertaining. The property is chain free and well located for Tulse Hill and West Norwood stations, plus green space at Brockwell Park.
The house requires modernisation throughout: the vendor describes renovation needs, walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, and the bathroom and kitchen will likely need updating. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators and glazing is double glazed, although install dates are unknown — buyers should factor in retrofit and servicing costs. There is a cellar (narrow) and a small rear garden; plot size is modest compared with the internal floor area.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, good broadband and mobile signal, and proximity to well-regarded schools and local amenities. Council Tax is band F and described as expensive, and local crime levels are above average; these are material considerations for family buyers and those seeking rental income. A full survey is recommended to confirm structural and services condition.
For a family seeking period space to personalise, or an investor targeting rental demand near transport links, this house offers clear potential once modernisation works are completed. The layout and room sizes give scope for reconfiguration or extension (subject to consents), allowing buyers to add energy-efficiency measures and contemporary finishes to unlock long-term value.
